Dear Margie:-
Your good letter came this morning and you can rest assured that your dad was most happy to get it. I am so glad you are up and around again. I hope this will your [sic] last attack. It is good for your mother to walk sometimes and I believe everyone will live longer and be healthier if he takes at least one long walk every day. You remember that will you and you'll never have to diet and maybe never be sick either I hope.
The weather here has been warm and for two days it has rained very nearly all the time. Everyone is hoping for Franklin to have a pleasant day.
He wrote the Committee on arrangements that because of the press of business he didn't believe he could attend the inauguration and then put a little note at the bottom and said he'd try to arrange to be present. It wouldn't be much of a show without him would it? I am being pestered to death by Missourians who want to see the show, and of course there is nothing I can do about it. Twelve tickets can't be stretched any further. I wish I could give you and mother one a piece but I can't. I'm still looking for that apartment and when I find it I'm coming for you.
Kiss mother and lots of love and kisses to my Skinny-Fatty-Sweet child.
Was glad to talk to you last night.
From
Dad.
